Fellow Althousians, I have to tell you, this saddens me greatly. I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for Jim Webb. From “Galveston” to “Up, Up and Away” all the way to “MacArthur Park”, Mr. Webb has written some of the most memorable and innovative music of his generation.

His solo albums are critically acclaimed and deservedly so!

It should be enough that his songs have been recorded and performed by the world’s greatest musical talents and that he has inspired countless artists to make the world a better place.

Anthony said... I have thought Webb would be Obama's best choice for VP.

other than the fact that he's an ego driven politican, who gets insulted easily, has a distain for some laws, who would be hard to control and by his presence would seem to sharpen the critique of Obama's inexperience?
